”Trista unitione” – The portrait of Lucrezia Crivelli by Leonardo da Vinci

Summary/Abstract: The painting presented here represents almost an unicum in Leonardo da Vinci's production as it is one of the very few Master’s works in which are documented historical traces: the article aims to collect all the historical and scientific researches carried out in the past decades that have made it possible to reach an attribution to the Master's hand.The historical events that led to the realization of the painting are complex and here are reported the salient steps and even more intriguing appears to be the technical execution of the painting that is executed in the same years in which Leonardo is engaged in performing The Last Supper commissioned by Ludovico Sforza and in which there are the same technical characteristics; of fundamental importance are also some sketches that Leonardo made in his notebooks and that he will also report in the painting and that refer to the human events of the two people who have linked their name to this painting: Ludovico Sforza and Lucrezia Crivelli.
